Apparently, Disc Golf Tournaments Are Really Just Weed-Smoking Orgies

Apparently, that's the attitude toward frisbee golf in North Dakota.  The Associated Press explains:

A controversial disc golf tournament planned in Grand Forks has received the blessing of the City Council.

The Frolf-a-Palooza event had raised worries because its original name included the phrase "4-2-0," slang for smoking marijuana. Promoter Hugo Gomez said in this case the numbers meant something different but he agreed to change the name.

The tournament is set for Aug. 14-16. Gomez says it will include games for children during the day, and musical entertainment the second night.

It's Reefer Madness!  Watch this video and tell me if disc golfers just scream "chronic smokers."

All disc golfers are sociology majors.

And all sociology majors play disc golf.

I have no idea why, but it would seem to be true. At least, that was the case when/where I was in college.

I would have said psych majors, but they’re more or less in the same boat. I got invited to play a bunch of times in college and never did.

There’s a show on my On Demand on cable that is all about disc golf. I watched about 10 minutes of tournament highlights before I couldn’t take it anymore.
